Capalbio
Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, Capalbio is a hidden gem celebrated for its pristine natural landscapes. It provides a peaceful retreat away from the busy tourist destinations, featuring expansive sandy beaches and vibrant Mediterranean vegetation that create the ideal setting for a leisurely day by the water.
This medieval village is situated on a picturesque hilltop, characterized by its narrow cobblestone streets, historic stone buildings, and a well-preserved city wall that offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.
Visitors can explore the 12th-century Church of San Nicola, admire the Renaissance-era Palazzo Collacchioni, or wander through the nearby Tarot Garden. This artistic park showcases colorful sculptures crafted by the renowned artist Niki de Saint Phalle.
Despite its undeniable charm, Capalbio remains relatively untouched by mass tourism, enhancing its allure. This off-the-beaten-path location allows guests to immerse themselves in an authentic and intimate Tuscan experience.
Getting to Capalbio from Rome is straightforward, though it involves a combination of train and bus travel. The journey from Roma Termini to Capalbio station generally takes 1.5 to 2 hours. After arriving at the station, a short bus or taxi ride will bring you to the beach.
